Good news this month for iPhone users who like to streaming video from their cameras. First, Steve Jobs himself blessed the Live Knocking Video app for iPhone-to-iPhone streaming, and now Ustream has released a new app called Live Broadcaster to stream video from your camera to the web.

While iPhone users stateside are stuck with just one lousy carrier, the FAIL-tacular AT&T, Apple's choice to make a handset that fits a broader global audience means other countries get more service options. This monopoly deal has been a bad deal for consumers -- and arguably a bad deal for ol' Ma Bell.

Every day is like Christmas when you own an iPhone or iPod touch; they're the coolest handheld computers on the block. But you can bring even more joy to your favorite iPhone user with one of these rad gifts. With a new headset, an external battery, a slick-looking dock, a fly speaker, and a new case, your giftee will have everything they ever wanted -- OK, except never-fail 3G reception from AT&T. Now that would be a holiday miracle.
